So, maybe then, give basics in class and choice to leave class if you're not interested. Without judgement. Then follow up with offers to free medical advice care and condoms in differing sizes (read discussed earlier in said classes). I'd actually have a free text line for any questions, discoveries etc 24/7. And, be honest, don't underestimate children, they're quite bright young things and should be still learning to enable themselves to be the best they can on this planet . Let's face it, they are here because some of you guys got all jiggy on it. :)

How do we know how honest reports/ surveys/ studies are? How honest will someone be in a study if (like Ben) someone feels inadequate, freak, alone, massive, puny? I can see how all studies could be accused of being questionable. Especially about, if you always do, sometimes do or definitely do use a condom. How about the monogamous relationships with the affair on the side? Seems to me, asking questions and getting pure honesty could be a can of worms. Studies are done how, in these more sensitive matters?
As an aside, I remember I used to check the print of certain magazines in Oz. The checks included colour correctness for penises. I actually asked my boss how I knew if they were all the right colour because I thought some pinks were a bit bright and her answer was. " "Don't worry about pink, it's the grey ones we have to worry about" My response was " Yes but I think the blueblack ones look a tad shady also." Her comeback was,"'do you want to do the tits?" My reply, NO!:) -
Up Front: It's Not Sex, and It's Not Education, in reply to Megan Wegan,
“Oh, I can’t use a condom, because of X….isn’t going to get very far with me.
So that is as simple as it should be. You don't like that ,don't do it. I liken it to a choice for a vaccine like the meningicocal one when if had, can protect a whole country but people want choice on vaccines basically rendering those who want them useless and some people have different reactions making choice understandable. We allow the choice for that, don't we?
I think if one engages in sex with someone, why can they not express themselves vocally about preference and that is when the respect should come into play. And if you wanna drink and become too drunk to know what your vagina is doing, shouldn't we be thinking a little deeper about that? Anyhow add to my list, make a selection of sizes widely available at the Family Planning Association for free. -
We could give all kids all information, with facts and examples and statistics and access to family planning for free access to contraception. Access should help. Knowledge is power. Family planning are available to educate those who need help learning how to use contraceptions but I’m not sure if it’s free now. At least in private, for free, shy, embarrassed, slower types may feel more comfortable. Family planning can help if it all turns to custard too . So sex ed in school, Family Planning Association fully funded for free access to school age. Hell go the whole hog and give it for all ages.

Leitch may not be a fantastic choice for a succulent meat cuisine, but he is really only offering what many out South have been given for some time, and that being cheaper cuts of meat. The supermarket chains out that way do exactly the same in their meat departments too, and they will argue they are catering to what is affordable for their demo-graph. A person I know in the medical field discovered this stark reality whilst trying to implement healthy food programmes at Middlemore (hah! geddit? middle more, rather appropriate in this instance) Hospital.

there typically one chooses an english name from a list when you start english classes
I like how they change when they feel like it too. A lady who I know told me her son no longer liked Roger and was changing to Bob. He is 6 now.
Of family and names, I have a Father called Joe, a Brother called Joe, an Uncle called Joe and a cousin called Joe.( read Jose' Jose' Jose' Jose') Creative, much? -

Up Front: It's Not Sex, and It's Not Education, in reply to Moz,
kids, when you think about having sex, think about your parents having sex"
Because I grew up in a pretty modernist open plan house (It was all glass as well as no rooms bar the bathroom on my parents side, we kids had wardrobe /room dividers in our part of the house, also all glass with same private bathroom) I had the opportunity to, on occasion, see my parents having sex. As a youngster, I thought Dad was squashing Mum. As I grew older, I gave them peace.
